innovators for industry
Ctrl Command activate_scanahead_autodelays
Function Only for scan systems with SCANahead technology, for example, the excelliSCAN.
Switches on or off the automatic (dynamic) calculation of the Scanner Delays and
Laser Delays. Returns the current mode after activate_scanahead_autodelays has been
executed.
Call CurrentMode = activate_scanahead_autodelays( Mode )
Parameters Mode As a signed 32-bit value.
–1 : Only returns the current mode. The current mode is not changed.
0 : Switches off automatic calculation.
1 : Switches on automatic calculation ( Mode = 1 ) if set_scanahead_params has
been called previously. Otherwise, Mode remains 0 after the command has been
executed.
Result Current mode. As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Comments • If Mode = 0 , then normal Scanner Delays and Laser Delays are used (see
set_scanner_delays and set_laser_delays). If Mode = 1 , then Scanner Delays and
Laser Delays are calculated and set automatically.
Values for Mode = 0 do not get overwritten. After switch-off, they remain available in
Mode = 0 for usage (as with non-excelliSCAN scan heads).
• activate_scanahead_autodelays also affects Sky Writing: the Sky Writing command
parameters Timelag (except for the actual activation of Sky Writing), Nprev and Npost
have no effect. However, they are going to have immediate effect once the automatic
delay calculation is switched off. In contrast, the parameter LaserOnShift is always
effective.

Command
activate_scanahead_autodelays_list
Function Only for scan systems with SCANahead technology, for example, the excelliSCAN.
As activate_scanahead_autodelays, but an undelayed short list command.
Call CurrentMode = activate_scanahead_autodelays_list( Mode )
Parameters Mode As an unsigned 32-bit value.
For values, see activate_scanahead_autodelays.
Comments • activate_scanahead_autodelays_list takes effect upon the next to-be-calculated
delay.
• Mode = –1 is not available with activate_scanahead_autodelays_list.
